The original birds were all of the Barred variety – with black and white stripped plumage – and other color varieties were developed later.
The popularity of this duel-purpose breed came from its qualities as an outstanding farm chicken: hardiness, docility, broodiness, and excellent production of brown eggs. This chicken is usually what comes to mind when you think of the chickens Grandma used to keep.
